Vinicius Junior gave an honest interview in a YouTube video titled 24 Hours with Vinicius hosted by popular streamer Ibai Llanos. The Real Madrid winger opened up about his daily routine, how he deals with pressure, his ambitions with the Brazilian national team, and even revealed his late-night gaming habits.
Vinicius shared his schedule: “Training in the morning, lunch with friends, a two-hour nap, then gym and physiotherapy. From 7 pm to midnight, I play games with friends, mainly Call of Duty and FIFA.”
He admitted he hates the gym: “I don’t like the gym at all, but it’s a job I have to do.”
On his happiness:
“I’m very happy. Playing for Real Madrid, having the life I have, and being with my family makes me happy. Staying happy on and off the pitch is the most important thing.”
On his ambition: "We want to bring the sixth star back to Brazil. I’ve won a lot, but I want to keep winning. We went a whole season without a trophy, which was hard to take. I hope we can win Brazil’s sixth World Cup this year."
On Carlo Ancelotti managing Brazil:
“The national team is completely new. We play better, happier and calmer. For me, his arrival is the best thing—he’s old enough to be my grandfather. Every time he calls, he says we’re going to win the World Cup. He’s learning Portuguese really fast.”
He named Portugal, Spain, France and Argentina as the strongest national teams.
On Kylian Mbappé:
"Every summer I ask him: ‘When are you coming?’ I’m like his agent. I did the same with Jude Bellingham. I want to play with the best players."
He is close friends with Mbappé, Eduardo Camavinga and Ferland Mendy.
On former teammates: "Karim Benzema is my favourite player. Luka Modrić has unique magic, I miss him."
He also expressed regret: “Cristiano Ronaldo left right after I arrived. I really wish I’d had the chance to play alongside him.”
